![]() I'm wondering if this somehow lets you make changes to the current document without those affecting future documents. There is a box you can check deep in the preferences (on the Advanced Options dialog) to "Load configuration with file." But I haven't been able to determine what that means or does. I wrote to Matthieu at TablEdit about this, but I'm not sure he understood exactly what I was asking. But the formatting tweaks that help the appearance of one song can ruin the appearance of another. I might tweak the formatting to get a song to fit nicely on one page. I'm talking fonts, line spacing, measures per line, the whole works. And I've bolded my biggest complaint: no way (that I've found) to revise the format of a specific file without that then becoming the default format for every other file you create - or even affecting the format of existing files that you then open. You've described some of things that I don't like about it. I have a love-hate relationship with TablEdit. ![]() > Mixing document-specific properties with system-level preferences on dialogs? Chunky scrolling in huge blocks that makes it hard to find a place in the file? Nonsensical block selection behavior? Forcing you to edit the document (deleting instruments) so you can print the part you want? Weird printer behavior like extra pages? Total inability to cut/paste blocks of notes? Crashes frequently? Upgrade process that requires me to dig a cryptic password out of my email history every time? I could really go on. If you actually want to edit them, god help you. To the OP: Yes, download the free TEF viewer. So we all buy the tool that works with TEF files. At this point they probably even like it. The problem is that there are really only a handful users that really matter (the people who very generously and prolifically create these tablature arrangements) and they're already accustomed to the erratic behavior of TablEdit. The problem is not that there isn't better software - I tried out GuitarPro recently and it at least worked like "normal" software (and lets you - gasp - INSERT notes!). This is the least usable piece of software I have ever paid money for. Crazy modes and seemingly nondeterministic UI behavior? Mixing document-specific properties with system-level preferences on dialogs? Chunky scrolling in huge blocks that makes it hard to find a place in the file? Nonsensical block selection behavior? Erratic behavior with older TEF files? Forcing you to edit the document (deleting instruments) so you can print the part you want? Weird printer behavior like extra pages? Total inability to cut/paste blocks of notes? Crashes frequently? Upgrade process that requires me to dig a cryptic password out of my email history every time? I could really go on. It violates practically every user interface design guideline ever written. ![]() Seriously, you all have Stockholm syndrome TablEdit is a ghastly piece of software. I'm not sure if I should say this out loud but I just can't listen to people talk about TablEdit so politely. The $60 1-time fee gets you the full version that lets you create tabs and edit existing ones. The free view lets you do just that: view (and play) TEF files. The safest place to doanload it is probably the TablEdit site or the Hangout. Is that the same fee for the download? They don't really mention the fee for the download but want all your credit card info before they'll let you do anything else. There are so many scams on the internet that promise to deliver a tool many want. And sometimes there are redirects to sites ending with. Or your computer warns you the site is trying to install something that doesn't even come close to what you think you are after. I am leery about giving out too much info as it sometimes leads to spam. But to get it they usually want email ID, name and want you to establish a logon. TablEdit can even recognize tablature images and pdf files.I have found sites that offer the. Files can be saved in TablEdit format or exported to ASCII, HTML, ABC, MusicXML, Lilypond or MIDI formats. TablEdit can open/import ASCII, MIDI, ABC, Guitar Pro, PowerTab, Bucket O' Tab, TabRite and MusicXML files. ![]() Through ongoing consultation with experts on other instruments, TablEdit has developed support for harmonica, mountain and hammered dulcimer, pedal steel guitar, diatonic and chromatic accordion, drums, violin, tin whistle, recorder, xaphoon, native american flute, oud and banjo. TablEdit tablature files are created with TablEdit™, a program for creating, editing, printing and listening to tablature and sheet music (standard notation) for guitar and other fretted, stringed instruments.Īdditionally, TablEdit, while designed for guitarists, by guitarists, is not limited to guitar like other Tablature programs. TEFview allows you as well to view and listen to PowerTab, MusicXML, Guitar Pro and TabRite files. TEFview is a Viewer for TablEdit tablature files.
